Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp fine salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Optional: 2 tablespoons hazelnut praline
Nutella swirl (optional) — to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter with both sugars on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. The mix should look shiny and airy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth and glossy, scraping the sides as needed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing on low just until a cohesive dough forms. Don’t overmix.
Fold in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. If you’re using a Nutella swirl, drop dollops and swirl with a toothpick after this step.
Scoop dough for even-sized cookies (about 1.5 tablespoons per scoop). Roll gently between your palms to smooth, and place on the prepared sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake 9–11 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers look just a touch glossy. They will look slightly underbaked in the middle—that’s intentional for a fudgy center.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If you prefer crisper cookies, bake a minute or two longer and let them rest fully on the rack.
Notes
Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies with crisp edges and fudgy centers, studded with hazelnuts and chocolate, delivering a warm, cocoa-kissed bite. Includes optional hazelnut praline or Nutella swirl for added hazelnut depth.
